So I've been like kinda like working through the system of people that I know that work for Disney, like trying to get like some information or optics or like let me just find out what, like the email algorithm is for Disney employees.

Bill ArnettGUEST
The lesson that's been missing, in my opinion, after ha- substituting for several years and going to teaching school, has been a presumption, and, and it's not a full presumption, but it's, it's kind of this, let's just assume that all students are the same and have the same motivations and same willingness to be there.

Bill ArnettGUEST
Now we do, they, they have different backgrounds, and there are diff- they are coming from different places, and they may be different learners and whatnot, but all that is just kind, it, it feels kind of hand wavy sometimes, and we spend far more time talking about different testing strategies and whatnot.
